Nondisp fx of mid 3rd of navic bone of r wrs, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture in the central portion of the scaphoid bone in the right wrist that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a later stage of treatment where the fracture has failed to heal properly, resulting in a nonunion.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters for patients with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right scaphoid waist fracture who are experiencing delayed or failed bone healing. It would be used when the physician documents nonunion and the patient is undergoing continued management, such as further immobilization, bone stimulation, or surgical planning for revision.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for the right scaphoid fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the "middle third" or "waist" of the scaphoid.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
